Wouldnt you buy the motherboard first then the hard drive? Whats the point of getting a spanking new drive and waiting for the mobo/controller to come out? You can use common ATA till then Martok on your new mobo until Serial arrives.
Maxtor are the only company that have utilised ATA133, all other companies said they are waiting for Serial. Since Serial was ready in 2000 they mustnt be far off then because it has had time to become a standard and not just something thrown out there.

Yes I know you can buy the board then get the drive later but why buy a board if there are no drive out or if its gonna be a while (might as well just wait till others bring boards out as well so you dont get stuck with a shit board just cos it was first out)

Does this mean that you want to hand the controller back and run at ATA33?
